Bridge may have possible structural damage after fire in Rosedale

By News Staff

Emergency crews responded to a fire under a bridge in the Rosedale area on Sunday afternoon.

Toronto Fire says they received multiple calls around 4:30 p.m. for black smoke and flames under a bridge in the Bloor and Sherbourne streets area.

They said there were possible explosions of propane canisters in the area.

According to callers who were familiar with the area, the fire was located in the homeless encampment the city dismantled last week.

The fire was put out about two hours later.

Police say the damage caused by the fire is greater than originally estimated.

The bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic as structural engineers assess the damage to the bridge. Pedestrians are still allowed to cross.

No injuries have been reported so far.
